It will wick four inches or more, right to your hand holding the bottom of the part being "glued" and the wicking will attach your hand to that part. Been there, still do it. Damn.

Ty,
Got any pix to show us?   

  Well Ty   What about pictures???

I make a line of pinholes. Works every time.

Are you saying that dragging parts through the spills on the bench isn't a preferred method of applying CA?

Seen a video that was done years ago on the use of the various CA's.   Can you imagine a complete build without Elmers, Epoxy and SIG type glues.   I have done it and the plane had quite a few flights before I totaled it at a contest.   No stress cracks anywhere during it's lifetime.   But, it takes extra work to do CA joints right.  Like extra holes on the ply lamination on fuse sides.   Baking soda or micro balloons for gap filling.    But, without proper ventilation the CA fumes will get to a person.   Don't ask me how I know.

Oh, by the way, take a scrap balsa block that is soft.   Start putting CA on the end grain.   I have had it comeout at the other end of a six inch block of balsa.   Now moisten another block of balsa and try it.   The CA will not go too far.   It is the absence of air and sometimes moisture that causes CA to go off.   You've seen the little puff of smoke if you use enough of it.
